oh mr. prime minister
twisting scripture for your own use
that's cute and demonic and stuff
if you're going to quote scripture, then do it in context :)
The whole slave argument is invalid because scripture is not saying that being enslaved to unjust masters is okay, but instead scripture is telling Christians to live worthy of the calling, even if they are enslaved to an unjust master because in the end Justice will be served. Either through Christ on the cross or their souls in Hell forever.
If you really want to make a valid argument for people who claim Christianity but hold a grudge against the homosexual community all you have to say is "Look at the life of Jesus."
I'm not saying I agree with homosexual marriage. I don't, and that's my stance! I am saying that Christians ought to love people who are homosexuals, and people who support homosexual marriage. I mean why wouldn't we? Because we disagree? So what...
In the same way that slaves ought to shine the light of Christ by being obedient to their masters, we ought to shine the light of Christ by loving people, even those that disagree with us.
That being said, if you claim Christianity, yet will not stand for what's right in this, then you must hate homosexuals. If you truly believe that there is a Hell, but you say it's okay to live in sin, then what you are saying is "I don't care if you go to Hell!" That's not love!
Let's remember that Jesus always said "Go and sin no more!" He never said "keep sinning it's okay :)"
